It’s 1976 and Gilderoy, an introverted sound engineer from Dorking, goes to Italy to work on a horror film Only the cheapest, nastiest and most abhorred films pass through the run-down Berberian Sound Studio doors and in this alien environment Gilderoy composes bloodcurdling sounds from ingenious improvised sources. But soon life begins to imitate art as both time and realities begin to shift – and Gilderoy finds himself lost in an otherworldly spiral of on screen witchcraft, off-screen sexual intrigue. From Peter Strickland (director of KATALIN VARGA) comes an evocative celebration of the Italian horror genre and a brilliant soundtrack by Broadcast.
